1 comments about Treasures of Taliesin: Seventy-Seventy Unbuilt Designs.
- "Treasures of Taliesin presents 106 drawings of 77 Frank Lloyd Wright buildings that were never built--buildings that Wright believed were his most interesting works. This revised, updated, an[d] newly designed edition includes new text from Bruce Pfeiffer, Director of Archives at The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. Pfeiffer draws on his long association with Wright to describe the circumstances surrounding the germination of each project, characterizes the personalities involved, and explains why the work was not completed. The stories include political intrigue and assassination, as well as providing glimpses of personalities such as Mike Todd, and Ayn Rand, and a poignant recollection of Marilyn Monroe, who wanted an entire floor of her planned home with Arthur Miller for their children. There is even a residence for a mysterious client whose identity was known only to Wright.
"In his careful selection of projects, Pfeiffer has created a visual history of Wright's accomplishments over a career that stretched from 1895 to 1959. Treasures of Taliesin ranges in scope from the minutely detailed--Wright's admonition to Franklin Watkins to "use cadmium plated screws with a electrical screwdriver" to secure the cypress siding of his studio-residence--to the uniquely extravagant: a description of the 26-foot drawing for the Mile High Building, exhibited in 1956 to the astonished world. This collection of drawings is both a feast and a fascinating overview of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural genius.

3 comments about 40 Under 40 : Young Architects for the New Millennium.
- Excellent book, with varied content and beautiful pics. Great to look at or for reference
- This book is an above average collection of Architects. It is mostly pictures with a short discription on the architects. The projects are each given about 2 pages with each architect about 6.
- Who are the Norman Fosters, Richard Meiers and Tadao Andos of tomorrow? Who will build our airports, museums, and homes in the 21st century? 40 ARCHITECTS UNDER 40 is TASCHEN's answer.
Discover the next generation of designers who are already starting to shape the architecture of the new millennium, redefining the relationships between culture, environment, structure, and space. Finding inspiration from visions of the future and traces of the past, these are the people who are defining the aesthetics of tomorrow's architecture. This new and original book takes us on a tour around the world, highlighting the best young architects and their groundbreaking work. Some of the architects featured, such as Shigeru Ban of Japan and UN Studio from the Netherlands, have already gained critical acclaim for their work. The rest, such as Marc Barani and Aranda Pigem Vilalta, are poised on the brink. 40 ARCHITECTS UNDER 40 is organized alphabetically by architect or firm, each entry featuring biographical and bibliographical information, as well as text highlighting each designer's most important works to date. With a wealth of photos and floor plans and a fresh, innovative layout, 40 ARCHITECTS UNDER 40 is both an essential reference book and exciting peek into the future of architecture.

2 comments about Old Brooklyn Heights: New York's First Suburb.
- Take the A train or walk over the Brooklyn Bridge. Explore Brooklyn Heights with this book and enjoy the view from the Promenade!!!!! it doen't get any better.
Want more?? Get a Copy of February House or read Truman Capote's essay " A House in the Heights."
- This is a wonderful book as we are new to Brooklyn Heights and are eager to learn it's history. However, the condition of the book was less than what i expected. Just a bit disappointing in that respect.
